Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes life is rough, sometimes you are the one who saw it, experienced it, or went through it. Most of these experiences we can think about, understand, and move on. But sometimes....there is that one ...(or more) which we can't just put down. It creeps into our dreams, it pushes into our heads when we drive by that spot, or look at that person who reminds us... It starts to take over our peace and impact our work, school, or relationships. When you have been through something hard that you cannot just let go and when you go home and others don't get it. It is time to reach out to someone who can help. It is possible to get this experience unstuck from your head, it is possible to turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can let go of the anger, sleeplessness, and hypervigilance and connect with your family again and be happy. I offer four types of research-based therapies for trauma and PTSD: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF: CBT)

Trauma and PTSD
Suzanne Greene
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CAGCS
Most people have experienced a form of trauma at one point in their life. Trauma can stem from a variety of events and circumstances at any age. These events may include abandonment, bullying, experiencing or witnessing acts of violence, a health diagnosis, and emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Symptoms may include anxiety, depression, destructive behaviors, sleep disturbances, and withdrawal. Psychotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for trauma. As a certified clinical trauma therapist, I will work with you to help you understand how the trauma has impacted your life, as well as the effect on your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. In therapy you will feel heard and protected as you process your emotions and memories. The goal of trauma focused therapy is to show you that you have control of your life, not your past experience. You are more than your trauma and your narrative can change.

Trauma and PTSD
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we approach trauma and PTSD with a compassionate and transformative method, helping individuals heal from past wounds that continue to affect their lives and relationships. Our Deconstructing Anxiety™ model guides clients to uncover the 5 "core fears" at the heart of their trauma responses—including fear of abandonment, loss of identity, loss of meaning, loss of purpose and fear of death. We then identify the “chief defenses” that have developed to cope with these fears, like hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or isolation. By encouraging clients to do the opposite of these defenses in a supportive and safe environment, we create a path for them to reclaim their sense of safety, rebuild trust, and experience greater resilience. This healing process not only helps release the hold of traumatic memories but also empowers individuals to engage more openly and authentically in their relationships, fostering a renewed sense of connection and inner peace.

Trauma and PTSD
Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
The body is wise and holds so much of our trauma until we are ready to feel safe and ready enough to explore it. Often we hold pain and overwhelm in our bodies from childhood. We need to slowly explore our pain through the body and emotional experience, allowing whatever energy is ready to move, move. Inner child work is particularly powerful here.
